"Deadline Looms for Ohio Marijuana Advocates to Gather Signatures for Ballot"

Supporters of recreational marijuana in Ohio have fallen short of the required number of valid signatures to put the issue on the November ballot. The Coalition to Regulate Marijuana like Alcohol submitted 123,367 valid signatures, but 124,046 were needed. They now have 10 days to collect the remaining 679 valid signatures. The proposal aims to legalize and regulate the cultivation, manufacturing, testing, and sale of marijuana to adults aged 21 and above, as well as allow home cultivation with limits. Ohio legalized medical marijuana in 2016, and there is also a bipartisan bill in the House committee that could potentially legalize recreational marijuana.
